If your child is totally and permanently disabled and classified as a dependent for tax purposes, there is no maximum age for coverage. In addition, the disability must have existed while they were covered dependent(s).

  • An approved leave of absence
  • Change of employment for yourself or spouse or domestic partner or dependent
